The Sewing of Books

The sewing of books is a traditional binding process where multiple pages or gatherings are stitched together along the spine using thread. This technique creates a strong, durable connection that keeps the pages in order and prevents them from falling apart with use. The sewn sections are then attached to the cover, resulting in a sturdy, professionally bound book. This method has been used for centuries for high-quality books because it ensures longevity and a neat appearance, reflecting craftsmanship and attention to detail in bookmaking.
